So selectively looking at some reviews determines how good a score a game deserves ? What logic are you using, what reasoning led you to this conclusion? Metacritic score is 76 so if you're just talking about average consensus you should be saying "7-8 seems fine", but what kind of argument is that to begin with?

Never played the game, just can't fathom these types of replies.

He just said it seemed low, where as its around what a lot of other "trusted" sites/mags gave it

I think people know what to expect out of the single-player experience based off the three previous games, plus the two that Ready at Dawn did. Since we were focusing on the multiplayer, we wanted to make sure that we squashed any questions of what the multiplayer is going to be. It's a philosophy of mine - I prefer to hide as much gameplay as possible. I want the players to experience it versus seeing it, and I want to show less single-player early on because there's such a long lead time for releasing a game.

He also confirms free-for-all modes for MP and that the MP is very light on story.

I haven't seen the issue yet but I have to imagine that's supposed to be two separate categories: Best Role-Playing Game and Best DLC. Otherwise that's a strangely specific category compared to all the rest.

Very surprised Gateways is on the list of top 50. Congrats to Smudged Cat Games.

Mass Effect 3 (Best Role-Playing Downloadable Content) - Because of the DLC it gets at least one Award? WTF. It doesnt even deserve one.Mark of the Ninja (Best Downloadable Game) - Actually i stopped reading after seeing this. Why is it the best Downloadable Game? Because it was XBLA exclusive for a few weeks? Because its "awesome". Its good yeah but nothing else.
